pretty good thread and bold prediction

but im gonna have to say you'll be wrong, infamous is a dying franchise and to add insult to injury sucker punch went MP, with the first one at 2.7 and the 2nd at 1.6 i can only see the PS4 version at best doing no more than 3-4M. lots of sony s early franchises from the beginning of there gens have died out some that come to mind from last gen are motostorm, warhawk, socom and resistance i can see the same happening with KZ and infamous

titanfall is a new franchise made by devs that prove that they can make 10M sellers, gen is in early stages lots of gamers looking for new gameplay experiences with the early console SW drought, i can see titanfall having longer legs and higher total sales


Can you elaborate on the reasons that make it a dying franchise?


2 sold significantly less, meta was lower, i believe overall intrest in superhero sand box has been down since 2010

i may have been a bit harsh with my OP, i can see SS score and sell well but i just dont see a long future for the franchise i see it ending up like motorstorm and resistance, early launch titles with pretty good hype that became irrelevant later in there gens

Bigger user base = more sales.

Yeap... inFAMOUS have more change to sold more than Titanfall.

No, but it will be pretty close.

PS4>XB1

Therefore...

inFAMOUS: Second Son>Titanfall

 

XB1 NEEDS a price drop to stay competitive with 3rd party title sales in comparision to the almighty PS4 imho. Until then looks like 

inFAMOUS: Second Son>Titanfall. I agree with OP.

I actually believe Titanfall will accelerate on X1 now that we get closer to release, so much so that it will run from Infamous in preorders.

Yeah because that is exactly how it works.

Wait let me hit this...it has to compete with COD Ghosts and BF4? Which has currently oversaturated the FPS market currently on XB1. And compete with the almighty PS4 @ 399.99.......nah.

The numbers for Infamous 2 are wrong (VGC even says so on the bottom of the euro tab) and a 2 point difference in Meta scores is statistically null. On top of that 2 launched with very little hubub or marketing and on top of all that the PS4 doesn't have anything bigger on the way for a pretty good while. SS should outsell 2 by a pretty solid margin.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Hmmmmm. That is actually a fair prediction. I will still say that Titanfall will sell more because of our obsession with shooters, especially from the makers of CoD.

Titanfall is quite the different game from what I have seen, and will probably be more for the Halo audience than COD/Battlefield. It has a story and is played out as a single player game in a multiplayer environment. And user base is but a factor in sales for the games, Halo on the original XBox sold quite well despite being on a console with a small user base.
